What Causes Hot Burning And Prickly Rashes On Arms And Flushed Face?

I am an 82 year old Male and my symptoms are a hot burning and prickly feeling with red like rash spots, especially on my arms, but the prickly hot felling is mainly on my upper torso. It has become a constant irritation. I seem to get no relief from any topicals except for a short time. My face seems to be flushed at all times. My arms show red blotchy spotting and I am become very apprehensive and nervous from this situation and do not get much rest.

I would like to know if u sweat a lot. If so the cause can be different. Please check out with a skin specialist as it can be contagious.
